Why We’re Sew Into 'Lovely Sail': Its shifting striations that echo the brush of wind across still water The interplay of teal, smoke, and steel that feels painterly and poetic Its gentle sheen that makes it an apt substitute for natural silk, with an easier upkeep Fleeting ripples of scintillating waters. With a blue and grey pattern of striated stripes, Lovely Sail brings tone-on-tone elegance accompanied by a soft luster and slubbed texture. Its versatile and quiet pattern on a faux silk lends you an excuse to add color to a neutral-hued modern home or pattern to a man's den with subtlety. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select an opulent fold style: If your silk blinds are fulfilling more of an aesthetic role than a functional one, consider getting them fabricated in the European relaxed fold style. Imbibing the rippled contouring of drapery, roman blinds in the European relaxed style feature scalloped bottoms and swag folds that aptly relay the luxurious taste of the decor style and bring out the best of the silken sheen of the fabric. Add blackout lining: Consider adding blackout lining to your roman blinds for room darkening in bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. In addition to blocking light, these shades will also help muffle external noise and maintain the room's temperature. This enhanced insulative resistance against the outdoor environment makes such blackout blinds a fitting choice for rooms that tend to get too hot or cold during extreme weather conditions. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Lovely Sail curtains as a stylish alternative to roman shades. Drapery’s generous dimensions and flowy trails are particularly well suited to wider spans, creating a balanced and refined look. Start with a sample: Screens may lie; swatches don’t. Since colors in images can vary on different screens, ordering a sample of Lovely Sail is highly advisable. This will allow you to see the colors upclose, and check how the fabric feels to the touch. Complement with matching accessories: For a custom designer look, coordinate your roman shades with other textile accessories in the room. Order matching runners, table covers or cushion covers from us, or buy Lovely Sail fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice. The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty): Our roman shades arrive with all necessary hardware, so you can skip that last-minute store dash. We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety. Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
